Book Review :The Care and Feeding of Books Old and New: A Simple Repair Manual for Book Lovers

This title is a booklovers' delight. Here in one witty, instruc-tive volume is everything needed to know about storing, clean-ing, fixing, shelving, mending, oiling, mailing, dusting, pasting, bind-ing, gluing, de-bugging, deodorizing, and otherwise guar-an-tee-ing a long shelf life for your treasured tomes. The authors are pro-fessional booksellers who know exactly what supplies to use, where to get them, how to use them, and how to weed a collec-tion. Their aim is to help all booklovers to preserve their own books without great expense, inordinate effort, or exten-sive train-ing. This is a splendid gift for anyone who cherishes their books.
